▲'''Ichor-Alchoholalcohol''' is a clear fluid discoveredinvented by [[Yesteel]],<ref>{{bref|warbreakerbook ref|pwb|587epilogue}}</ref> one of the [[Five Scholars]], to aid in the creation of [[Lifeless]].
 
==Creation==
In the time before the [[Manywar]], the Five Scholars studied the magic of Awakening together, seeking to uncover new [[CommandAwakening#Awakening Commands|Commands]] and understand how Awakening operated. Yesteel discovered an ichor-alcohol during this time. This new process made it easier to create Lifeless that lasted longer.

==Uses==
Ichor-alcoholsalcohol's main use is to increase the length of time a [[Lifeless]] can remain active without requiring a new [[Breath]]<ref>.{{brefbook ref|warbreakerwb|p|35833}}</ Ichor-alcohol also makes the [[Awakening]] of Lifeless require fewer Breaths, rendering the process easier and cheaper to perform since new Breaths are less often required.{{book ref>|wb|58}} It is infused into the veins of the Lifeless by using a small hand pump, in order to avoid damaging the blood vessels of the Lifeless.{{book ref|wb|33}}
In humans, the pump is often attached to a valve in the neck of the Lifeless.<ref>{{bref|warbreaker|p|357}}</ref>▼

Ichor-alcohol does have some weaknesses though. Since it acts as blood to the Lifeless it will need to be replaced if they become cut and drained of it.{{book ref|wb|58}} The Lifeless will continue to function for a brief period of time before shutting down. Also over time the ichor-alcohol can become corrupted so it needs to be regularly checked and replaced.{{book ref|wb|47}} It is important to note that ichor-alcohol is not a requirement for the creation of Lifeless.{{book ref|wb|33}} The creation of Lifeless without ichor-alcohol, such as [[Kalad's Phantoms]], requires more Breaths but they do not need maintenance like other Lifeless with ichor-alcohol do.

==Effects on Nalthis==
The discovery of ichor-alcohol drastically altered the course of history on Nalthis. It was one of the main causes of the Manywar.{{book ref|wb|33}} Lifeless were now cheaper, meaning kings could create armies that didn't have to eat. Jealous of Yesteel's discovery, [[Shashara]] (another of the Five Scholars) tried to invent more new Awakening processes.{{book ref|wb|51}} She invented new Commands that allowed for Lifeless to be created with a single Breath.{{book ref|wb|53}} It also caused her to discover the way to create Type-Four BioChromatic entities, such as [[Nightblood]].{{book ref|wb|51}} Shashara's two discoveries also helped to cause the Manywar.

Three hundred years after the Manywar, ichor-alcohol allowed countries such as [[Hallandren]] to keep large standing armies of Lifeless, requiring no food and minimal maintenance.
Lifeless had also become far more common as servants and workers, doing tasks for their masters.
The ichor-alcohol helped make it possible for the people to possess Lifeless because it made the Awakenings cheaper.
Ichor-alcohol is utilized in the creation of most, if not all modern Lifeless, such as [[Clod]].
Now Yesteel has invented a new kind of ichor-alcohol that is somehow more potent.<ref>{{bref|warbreaker|p|587}}</ref>
